There is very little hope for Swat.
We have lost this area the way it existed for many decades, as peaceful summer vacation spot.
It will now be a gangsta land where Mullahs will continue playing hide and seek with the government soldiers.
This will not be the first operation that we are seeing right now. There will be many many more.
Why you may ask.
We as a nation have not figured out that gangsta ism is bad even when gangs are formed in the name of our religion.
So Islamists rejoice. You are here to stay in Pakistan and most like you will expand.
